Texas DOT - Crash Reports and Records: There is no better place place than directly from the DOT for an official copy of your accident report.

The distribution of the crashes in Atascocita is closely related to the distribution of the total number of road crashes provided by the Texas DOT. Road accidents were on the rise from 2014 till 2016. The principal reason for this rise is the sudden drop in the price of crude oil and gas across the country. This made it easier for residents of Atascocita to buy more fuel for their vehicles. They spent more time on the road, built up traffic on the highways, and, as a result, more crashes occurred.

It’s also likely that many of the people who were driving were doing so without 100% concentration. With the rapid increase in the use of smartphones, over 100,000 accidents have occurred in Texas due to distracted driving.
